Might be a sign of a cleanliness OCD. I’ve known people like that, gloves and all.
There’s much discussion and debate online about a connection between OCD and serial killers. Since killing is an obsession or compulsion with them, it’s not hard to jump to conclusions. Of course, most people with OCD aren’t murders, but it’s something to consider.
My theory is that this guy was a workaholic who busted his ass every day and never looked around. A couple of years ago, he took stock of his life, did not like what he saw (perhaps no wife, no children, etc, just stacks of money his siblings and great nieces and nephews will inherit) and started getting buyer's remorse, i.e he should have done something else with his life. So mentally, he cracked wide open, i.e. he became a high-functioning head case. Unfortunately, the benzos and booze turned his funk into a long slide into a murderous cuckooland.
